Overview
Our Hoshin Kanri (Lean Policy Deployment) service helps develop a structured methodology for aligning strategic goals throughout the organization. Building on Peter Drucker’s “Management by Objectives” (MBO), this service incorporates Total Quality Management (TQM) tools and introduces Japanese adaptations such as vertical and horizontal catchball, fostering greater collaboration across all levels of the organization. The approach ensures that key objectives are communicated effectively, and strategies are aligned from leadership to front-line teams. We also assist with the formulation of A3s for catchball execution and x-matrices to track progress and performance against strategic goals.
